Actor Lee Shin-young is once again attempting a new transformation through a romantic fantasy historical drama.
According to a report from OSEN on the 2nd, Lee Shin-young has been cast in the unique romantic fantasy historical drama 'The Moon Flows in the River' (written by Jo Seung-hee, directed by Lee Dong-hyun), which is being presented by MBC. This work is an effort by MBC to continue its 'historical drama invincibility' box office myth in 2025.
'The Moon Flows in the River' depicts a romantic story of a crown prince who has lost his laughter and a woman who has lost her memory, intertwining their souls. In the drama, Lee Shin-young plays the role of Lee-Woon, a destined prince who was born as the king's legitimate son but was deposed. The anticipated synergy with actors Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong, who were previously announced, adds to the attention surrounding Lee Shin-young's talent and star power.
Another standout feature is Lee Shin-young's dazzling filmography. He has been actively performing across both television and screen, building a robust filmography as a rising star.
Lee Shin-young caught attention in 2019 with his role as North Korean soldier Park Kwang-beom in the drama 'Crash Landing on You' and has established himself as a next-generation star by showcasing stable acting skills in various works. He has displayed a wide acting spectrum in notable dramas such as 'Contract Friendship', 'Day and Night', Disney+'s 'Police Class with You and Me', and 'Romantic Doctor Kim Sa-bu 3', and he won the Best New Actor award at the 2023 SBS Drama Awards.
In 2024, he showcased his talent as Kim Myung-ha in the tvN drama 'The Sound of Magic', which aired simultaneously in Korea and Japan on Netflix, and he received great love beyond Korea through the film 'Rebound', directed by Jang Hang-joon.
He is currently cast as the lead in the upcoming film 'Sad Tropical' by director Park Hoon-jeong, which is garnering attention in the film industry, and he has just completed filming in Thailand and returned home. The anticipation for Lee Shin-young's busy 2025 is building.
